Right Ventricular Longitudinal Strain-Related Indices in Acute Pulmonary Embolism.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is correlated with serious morbidity and mortality. Efforts have been made to establish and validate mortality predictive scores based mainly on clinical parameters. Patients with PE and traditional indices of echocardiographic right ventricular (RV) dysfunction or pressure overload have a higher probability of a worse outcome. During the last two decades, studies regarding the use of two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) and its derived indices in the setting of acute PE have been conducted. In this comprehensive review of the literature, we aimed to summarize these studies. Safe conclusions and comparisons among the reviewed studies are prone to statistical errors, mainly because the studies published were heterogenous in design, different 2DSTE-derived parameters were tested, and different clinical outcomes were used as endpoints. Nonetheless, RV strain indices and, more commonly, regional longitudinal strain of the RV free wall have shown a promising correlation with mortality, assisting in the differential diagnosis between PE and other acute or chronic disorders.
